I saw the mention of running 3 cell NiMh/19 turn in order to have a little parity with LiPo/10.5. My question is: would this be feasible running brushed or is the efficiency not there to make it the full 8 minutes? Would I be better off running a LiPo RX pack with a regulator or an old school 5 cell NiMh RX pack (ESC's are Novak GTS and KO VFS-1)? I will be making the switch to 1s LiPo and brushless when funds allow and when I've burned through the stock of brushed motors and brushes that I have. I also wouldn't mind getting a little more use out of that ancient lathe of mine....
Thanks in advance for any advice!!!!
